In this video miniseries, the original Bitcoin paper is broken down. The paper is extremely condensed and is not very friendly to people who are not very familiar with the field. Since Bitcoin is for everyone, not just computer scientists and cryptologists, it is important than anyone can understand the basics of how Bitcoin and its protocol works as well as the problems it solves. It is my goal to help anyone confused about how the Bitcoin system works, and break it down so it can be understood by anyone. I may eventually cover mining as well specifically, but it is more important that most people understand the protocol and how it works as a system.

In this interview, Andreas answers questions about Bitcoin's development into a secure, borderless system that is already influencing geopolitical relations and decision-making, and why the banks' attempt to offer "blockchains in a bottle" is mostly a re-run of the boring and isolated intranets failing to compete against the innovation of the open internet.

A block chain is a transaction database shared by all nodes participating in a system based on the Bitcoin protocol. A full copy of a currency's block chain contains every transaction ever executed in the currency. With this information, one can find out how much value belonged to each address at any point in history.

Every block contains a hash of the previous block. This has the effect of creating a chain of blocks from the genesis block to the current block. Each block is guaranteed to come after the previous block chronologically because the previous block's hash would otherwise not be known. Each block is also computationally impractical to modify once it has been in the chain for a while because every block after it would also have to be regenerated. These properties are what make double-spending of bitcoins very difficult. The block chain is the main innovation of Bitcoin.
Honest generators only build onto a block (by referencing it in blocks they create) if it is the latest block in the longest valid chain. "Length" is calculated as total combined difficulty of that chain, not number of blocks, though this distinction is only important in the context of a few potential attacks. A chain is valid if all of the blocks and transactions within it are valid, and only if it starts with the genesis block.
For any block on the chain, there is only one path to the genesis block. Coming from the genesis block, however, there can be forks. One-block forks are created from time to time when two blocks are created just a few seconds apart. When that happens, generating nodes build onto whichever one of the blocks they received first. Whichever block ends up being included in the next block becomes part of the main chain because that chain is longer. More serious forks have occurred after fixing bugs that required backward-incompatible changes.
Blocks in shorter chains (or invalid chains) are not used for anything. When the bitcoin client switches to another, longer chain, all valid transactions of the blocks inside the shorter chain are re-added to the pool of queued transactions and will be included in another block. The reward for the blocks on the shorter chain will not be present in the longest chain, so they will be practically lost, which is why a network-enforced 100-block maturation time for generations exists.
These blocks on the shorter chains are often called "orphan" blocks. This is because the generation transactions do not have a parent block in the longest chain, so these generation transactions show up as orphan in the listtransactions RPC call. Several pools have misinterpreted these messages and started calling their blocks "orphans". In reality, these blocks have a parent block, and might even have children.

In this Bitcoin Protocol tutorial video, the Transactions section of the Bitcoin protocol paper is explained. Of course, however, with this proposed solution, we have another issue. We can for sure confirm that a user owns or at least owned a coin, and we can confirm the chain of owners, but we cannot confirm just yet that this coin was not double spent. Have no fear, this is coming!

The network timestamps transactions by including them in blocks that link to form a chain called the block chain. Such blocks cannot be changed without redoing the work that created each block down the chain from the modified block. The chain serves as proof of the sequence of events and that this sequence was verified by a majority of the bitcoin network's computing power. As long as a majority of computing power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to attack the network, they will outpace attackers. This provides a means of providing security not found in other protocols.

Bitcoins are created as a reward for payment processing work in which users offer their computing power to verify and record payments into a public ledger. This activity is called mining and miners are rewarded with transaction fees and newly created bitcoins. Besides being obtained by mining, bitcoins can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services. Users can send and receive bitcoins for an optional transaction fee.

Satoshi Nakamoto

Satoshi Nakamoto(中本哲史,Nakamoto Satoshi) is the name used by the person or group who invented bitcoin and created its original reference implementation, Bitcoin Core (formerly known as Bitcoin-Qt).

Activities

In 2008, Nakamoto published a paper on The Cryptography Mailing list at metzdowd.com describing the bitcoin digital currency. In 2009, Nakamoto released the first bitcoin software that launched the network and the first units of the bitcoin cryptocurrency, called bitcoins.

Nakamoto continued to collaborate with other developers on the bitcoin software until mid-2010. Around this time, he handed over control of the source code repository and network alert key to Gavin Andresen, transferred several related domains to various prominent members of the bitcoin community, and stopped his involvement in the project.

The public bitcoin transaction log shows that Nakamoto's known addresses contain roughly one million bitcoins. As of December 2015, this was the equivalent of US$415 million. Nakamoto's true identity remains unknown, and has been the subject of much speculation. It is not known whether the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" is real or a pseudonym, or whether the name represents one person or a group of people.

History

The name High Level originated from the height of the land that separates the Peace River and the Hay River. The original location was about 3.5 miles north of present spot and along the old Fort Vermilion/Meander River freighting trail, serving as a stopping place, not a town. The original High Level Sports Grounds were at this location and the old trail was still visible there in the mid-1960s. The High Level Golf & Country Club currently occupies this approximate location. For many years, High Level was known as Tloc Moi (Hay Meadow). The first fur traders arrived to this area in 1786, but it was not until 1947 that High Level was settled, with development of road access to Fort Vermilion being the primary factor in determining the Town's present location. High Level's first power plant was established in 1957, and a year later the first post office was built. The oil fields were discovered in the 1960s, and a railway was run to the area in 1963.

In this Bitcoin protocol tutorial video, the notion of Proof of Work is discussed. The idea of proof of work, normally, is to protect against spam and DoS attacks. With bitcoin, however, it is used to secure the blockchain, requiring that someone must re-do large amounts of computer processing to fake things in the blockchain.
In the next video, you will be shown, via raw code, how Proof of Work actually works. This should help clear any confusion if you are confused at that point.

In this Bitcoin protocol tutorial video, Proof of Work is shown using actual code. Up to this point, the topic of Proof of Work has been discussed, though may still be a foggy topic that is not fully understood by many. The purposes of this video is to show you a real example of proof of work in action, and why proof of work actually works.

Donations greatly appreciated!
Bitcoin: 1KdkeDArSd5LVaLVh9WePaHqB9yHLaKPfv
I worked very hard to create this interactive audiobook format and graciously appreciate Bitcoin donations.
After wanting to read the original Bitcoin Whitepaper, I discovered there wasn't a good audiobook version of it with graphs and formulas. So I went ahead and made it, using a slower reading speed so a viewer can try and take it all in.
I have no affiliation with bitcoin.org or Satoshi Nakamoto.
Download the original whitepaper here. http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
From wikipedia....
In November 2008, a paper was posted on the internet under the name Satoshi Nakamoto titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer ElectronicCashSystem. This paper detailed methods of using a peer-to-peer network to generate what was described as "a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust". In January 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence with the release of the first open source Bitcoin client and the issuance of the first bitcoins, with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the first block of bitcoins ever (known as the "genesis block"), which had a reward of 50 bitcoins. The value of the first bitcoin transactions were negotiated by individuals on the bitcointalk forums with one notable transaction involving a 10,000 BTC pizza.
"Satoshi Nakamoto" is a pseudonym for the unknown person or people who designed the original Bitcoin protocol in 2008 and launched the network in 2009. Nakamoto was responsible for creating the majority of the official Bitcoin software and was active in making modifications and posting technical information on the BitcoinTalk Forum.[73]
I apologize in advance for the few wording mistakes. I tried to notate most of them.

One of the fundamental principles when you're designing protocols is to have separation between the layers such that you don't have side-effects bleeding from one layer to another. This form of abstraction allows you to have clean interfaces between the layers so that you can't see what's happening in one layer from the layer underneath or above there are no effects that bleed. You don't try to implement everything in one layer these are fundamental principles in network protocol design.

Interview: "The Bitcoin Protocol"

In this interview, Andreas answers questions about Bitcoin's development into a secure, borderless system that is already influencing geopolitical relations and decision-making, and why the banks' attempt to offer "blockchains in a bottle" is mostly a re-run of the boring and isolated intranets failing to compete against the innovation of the open internet.

The Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology Explained

A block chain is a transaction database shared by all nodes participating in a system based on the Bitcoin protocol. A full copy of a currency's block chain contains every transaction ever executed in the currency. With this information, one can find out how much value belonged to each address at any point in history.

In this Bitcoin Protocol tutorial video, the Transactions section of the Bitcoin protocol paper is explained. Of course, however, with this proposed solution, we have another issue. We can for sure confirm that a user owns or at least owned a coin, and we can confirm the chain of owners, but we cannot confirm just yet that this coin was not double spent. Have no fear, this is coming!

Bitcoin Protocol Tutorial: Proof of Work

In this Bitcoin protocol tutorial video, the notion of Proof of Work is discussed. The idea of proof of work, normally, is to protect against spam and DoS attacks. With bitcoin, however, it is used to secure the blockchain, requiring that someone must re-do large amounts of computer processing to fake things in the blockchain.
In the next video, you will be shown, via raw code, how Proof of Work actually works. This should help clear any confusion if you are confused at that point.

A block chain is a transaction database shared by all nodes participating in a system based on the Bitcoin protocol. A full copy of a currency's block chain contains every transaction ever executed in the currency. With this information, one can find out how much value belonged to each address at any point in history.

Every block contains a hash of the previous block. This has the effect of creating a chain of blocks from the genesis block to the current block. Each block is guaranteed to come after the previous block chronologically because the previous block's hash would otherwise not be known. Each block is also computationally impractical to modify once it has been in the chain for a while because every block after it would also have to be regenerated. These properties are what make double-spending of bitcoins very difficult. The block chain is the main innovation of Bitcoin.
Honest generators only build onto a block (by referencing it in blocks they create) if it is the latest block in the longest valid chain. "Length" is calculated as total combined difficulty of that chain, not number of blocks, though this distinction is only important in the context of a few potential attacks. A chain is valid if all of the blocks and transactions within it are valid, and only if it starts with the genesis block.
For any block on the chain, there is only one path to the genesis block. Coming from the genesis block, however, there can be forks. One-block forks are created from time to time when two blocks are created just a few seconds apart. When that happens, generating nodes build onto whichever one of the blocks they received first. Whichever block ends up being included in the next block becomes part of the main chain because that chain is longer. More serious forks have occurred after fixing bugs that required backward-incompatible changes.
Blocks in shorter chains (or invalid chains) are not used for anything. When the bitcoin client switches to another, longer chain, all valid transactions of the blocks inside the shorter chain are re-added to the pool of queued transactions and will be included in another block. The reward for the blocks on the shorter chain will not be present in the longest chain, so they will be practically lost, which is why a network-enforced 100-block maturation time for generations exists.
These blocks on the shorter chains are often called "orphan" blocks. This is because the generation transactions do not have a parent block in the longest chain, so these generation transactions show up as orphan in the listtransactions RPC call. Several pools have misinterpreted these messages and started calling their blocks "orphans". In reality, these blocks have a parent block, and might even have children.
Because a block can only reference one previous block, it is impossible for two forked chains to merge.

In this Bitcoin Protocol tutorial video, the Transactions section of the Bitcoin protocol paper is explained. Of course, however, with this proposed solution, we have another issue. We can for sure confirm that a user owns or at least owned a coin, and we can confirm the chain of owners, but we cannot confirm just yet that this coin was not double spent. Have no fear, this is coming!

In this Bitcoin protocol tutorial video, the notion of Proof of Work is discussed. The idea of proof of work, normally, is to protect against spam and DoS attacks. With bitcoin, however, it is used to secure the blockchain, requiring that someone must re-do large amounts of computer processing to fake things in the blockchain.
In the next video, you will be shown, via raw code, how Proof of Work actually works. This should help clear any confusion if you are confused at that point.

Donations greatly appreciated!
Bitcoin: 1KdkeDArSd5LVaLVh9WePaHqB9yHLaKPfv
I worked very hard to create this interactive audiobook format and graciously appreciate Bitcoin donations.
After wanting to read the original Bitcoin Whitepaper, I discovered there wasn't a good audiobook version of it with graphs and formulas. So I went ahead and made it, using a slower reading speed so a viewer can try and take it all in.
I have no affiliation with bitcoin.org or Satoshi Nakamoto.
Download the original whitepaper here. http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
From wikipedia....
In November 2008, a paper was posted on the internet under the name Satoshi Nakamoto titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer ElectronicCashSystem. This paper detailed methods of using a peer-to-peer network to generate what was described as "a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust". In January 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence with the release of the first open source Bitcoin client and the issuance of the first bitcoins, with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the first block of bitcoins ever (known as the "genesis block"), which had a reward of 50 bitcoins. The value of the first bitcoin transactions were negotiated by individuals on the bitcointalk forums with one notable transaction involving a 10,000 BTC pizza.
"Satoshi Nakamoto" is a pseudonym for the unknown person or people who designed the original Bitcoin protocol in 2008 and launched the network in 2009. Nakamoto was responsible for creating the majority of the official Bitcoin software and was active in making modifications and posting technical information on the BitcoinTalk Forum.[73]
I apologize in advance for the few wording mistakes. I tried to notate most of them.

One of the fundamental principles when you're designing protocols is to have separation between the layers such that you don't have side-effects bleeding from one layer to another. This form of abstraction allows you to have clean interfaces between the layers so that you can't see what's happening in one layer from the layer underneath or above there are no effects that bleed. You don't try to implement everything in one layer these are fundamental principles in network protocol design.

In this video miniseries, the original Bitcoin paper is broken down. The paper is extremely condensed and is not very friendly to people who are not very familiar with the field. Since Bitcoin is for everyone, not just computer scientists and cryptologists, it is important than anyone can understand the basics of how Bitcoin and its protocol works as well as the problems it solves. It is my goal to help anyone confused about how the Bitcoin system works, and break it down so it can be understood by anyone. I may eventually cover mining ...

Interview: "The Bitcoin Protocol"

In this interview, Andreas answers questions about Bitcoin's development into a secure, borderless system that is already influencing geopolitical relations and decision-making, and why the banks' attempt to offer "blockchains in a bottle" is mostly a re-run of the boring and isolated intranets failing to compete against the innovation of the open internet.
0:17 - What is the potential for bitcoin to address financial inclusion?
1:58 - What will bitcoin's impact be on countries like Greece, Cyprus, Argentina, Venezuela, and China?
4:36 - How does Bitcoin's consensus algorithm and architecture determine its properties?
6:44 - Is Bitcoin a success story in terms of decentralisation?
7:54 - Is Bitcoin's governance system efficient? Is inefficiency bad?

GOTO 2014 • How the Bitcoin Protocol Actually Works • Jan Møller

This presentation was recorded at GOTOAarhus 2014
http://gotocon.com
Jan Møller - Principal Engineer at Mycelium and expert on Bitcoin
ABSTRACT
A solution to a problem that by many scientists was believed impossible to solve was proposed in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. Since then the Bitcoin network has grown to be the biggest distributed computer in existence.
In this talk I will explain how Bitcoin works at a technical level and discuss other possible applications of 100% decentralized networks.

Bitcoin is relying on modern cryptography standards, but what happens when quantum computers get developed enough to be used in order to brute force modern cryptography?
This is a theoretical quantum threat all cryptocurrencies currently face. Let's talk about exactly what part of the Bitcoin protocol can be hacked in this way.

The Bitcoin Course | Using the Bitcoin protocol to empower new ideas [Adrian Macneil]

(Audiobook) The Original Bitcoin White Paper by Satoshi Nakamoto

Donations greatly appreciated!
Bitcoin: 1KdkeDArSd5LVaLVh9WePaHqB9yHLaKPfv
I worked very hard to create this interactive audiobook format and graciously appreciate Bitcoin donations.
After wanting to read the original Bitcoin Whitepaper, I discovered there wasn't a good audiobook version of it with graphs and formulas. So I went ahead and made it, using a slower reading speed so a viewer can try and take it all in.
I have no affiliation with bitcoin.org or Satoshi Nakamoto.
Download the original whitepaper here. http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

YOW! 2016 Jan Moller - How the Bitcoin Protocol Actually Works

The bitcoin network is the largest distributed computer in existence. It is a solution - suggested in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto - to the problem of distributed consensus that many scientists thought impossible.
This talk will be fast-paced and highly technical, and will explain how Bitcoin actually works. The first three times you think you understand Bitcoin you are probably wrong. After this talk you can bump your wrongness down by one.
Jan has been developing professional software for more than 2 decades, and has over the years been tech lead on numerous projects based on cryptography running in high security and heavily controlled environments in the financial sector. In recent years Jan has been working on x86 virtualization at VMware, principal engineer at Mycelium, and now CTO at C...

Blockchain protocol: What’s next after Bitcoin? (Futur en Seine 2015)

Futur En Seine 205 : “Human and technology” conferences cycle
Revolutionary technology behind the bitcoin transaction protocol, the blockchain is a decentralized and universal digital register , shared among all and updated in real time. This technology based on cryptography could cause a wave of decentralization beyond the currency area. Insurances, contracts, payments, land registers, administration: what are the next areas of application of the blockchain ? What is and what might be the impacts on our ways of living ? Is a decentralized social organization possible?

How Bitcoin Protocol Works Andreas Antonopoulos - The Best Documentary Ever

Zerocoin: Anonymous Distributed E-Cash from Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the first e-cash system to see widespread adoption. While Bitcoin offers the potential for new types of financial interaction, it has significant limitations regarding privacy. Specifically, because the Bitcoin transaction log is completely public, users� privacy is protected only through the use of pseudonyms. In this talk we discuss Zerocoin, a cryptographic extension to Bitcoin that augments the protocol to allow for fully anonymous currency transactions. Our system uses standard cryptographic assumptions and does not introduce new trusted parties or otherwise change the security model of Bitcoin. We detail Zerocoin�s cryptographic construction, its integration into Bitcoin, and examine its performance both in terms of computation and impact on the Bitcoin protocol.

In this video miniseries, the original Bitcoin paper is broken down. The paper is extremely condensed and is not very friendly to people who are not very familiar with the field. Since Bitcoin is for everyone, not just computer scientists and cryptologists, it is important than anyone can understand the basics of how Bitcoin and its protocol works as well as the problems it solves. It is my goal to help anyone confused about how the Bitcoin system works, and break it down so it can be understood by anyone. I may eventually cover mining as well specifically, but it is more important that most people understand the protocol and how it works as a system.

In this interview, Andreas answers questions about Bitcoin's development into a secure, borderless system that is already influencing geopolitical relations and decision-making, and why the banks' attempt to offer "blockchains in a bottle" is mostly a re-run of the boring and isolated intranets failing to compete against the innovation of the open internet.

After wanting to read the original Bitcoin Whitepaper, I discovered there wasn't a good audiobook version of it with graphs and formulas. So I went ahead and made it, using a slower reading speed so a viewer can try and take it all in.

Download the original whitepaper here. http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
From wikipedia....
In November 2008, a paper was posted on the internet under the name Satoshi Nakamoto titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer ElectronicCashSystem. This paper detailed methods of using a peer-to-peer network to generate what was described as "a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust". In January 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence with the release of the first open source Bitcoin client and the issuance of the first bitcoins, with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the first block of bitcoins ever (known as the "genesis block"), which had a reward of 50 bitcoins. The value of the first bitcoin transactions were negotiated by individuals on the bitcointalk forums with one notable transaction involving a 10,000 BTC pizza.
"Satoshi Nakamoto" is a pseudonym for the unknown person or people who designed the original Bitcoin protocol in 2008 and launched the network in 2009. Nakamoto was responsible for creating the majority of the official Bitcoin software and was active in making modifications and posting technical information on the BitcoinTalk Forum.[73]
I apologize in advance for the few wording mistakes. I tried to notate most of them.

The bitcoin network is the largest distributed computer in existence. It is a solution - suggested in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto - to the problem of distributed consensus that many scientists thought impossible.
This talk will be fast-paced and highly technical, and will explain how Bitcoin actually works. The first three times you think you understand Bitcoin you are probably wrong. After this talk you can bump your wrongness down by one.
Jan has been developing professional software for more than 2 decades, and has over the years been tech lead on numerous projects based on cryptography running in high security and heavily controlled environments in the financial sector. In recent years Jan has been working on x86 virtualization at VMware, principal engineer at Mycelium, and now CTO at Chainalysis.
With a background in computer science, cryptography, and large scale distributed systems Bitcoin was simply too interesting to let go. Jan discovered Bitcoin in early 2011 and fell down the rabbit hole. As of2012 he has replaced virtual machines with virtual coins.

Bitcoin is the first e-cash system to see widespread adoption. While Bitcoin offers the potential for new types of financial interaction, it has significant limitations regarding privacy. Specifically, because the Bitcoin transaction log is completely public, users� privacy is protected only through the use of pseudonyms. In this talk we discuss Zerocoin, a cryptographic extension to Bitcoin that augments the protocol to allow for fully anonymous currency transactions. Our system uses standard cryptographic assumptions and does not introduce new trusted parties or otherwise change the security model of Bitcoin. We detail Zerocoin�s cryptographic construction, its integration into Bitcoin, and examine its performance both in terms of computation and impact on the Bitcoin protocol.

In this video miniseries, the original Bitcoin paper is broken down. The paper is extremely condensed and is not very friendly to people who are not very familiar with the field. Since Bitcoin is for everyone, not just computer scientists and cryptologists, it is important than anyone can understand the basics of how Bitcoin and its protocol works as well as the problems it solves. It is my goal to help anyone confused about how the Bitcoin system works, and break it down so it can be understood by anyone. I may eventually cover mining as well specifically, but it is more important that most people understand the protocol and how it works as a system.

The Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology Explained

A block chain is a transaction database shared by all nodes participating in a system based on the Bitcoin protocol. A full copy of a currency's block chain contains every transaction ever executed in the currency. With this information, one can find out how much value belonged to each address at any point in history.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Every block contains a hash of the previous block. This has the effect of creating a chain of blocks from the genesis block to the current block. Each block is guaranteed to come after the previous block chronologically because the previous block's hash would otherwise not be known. Each block is also computationally impractical to modify once it has been in the chain for a while because every block after it would also have to be regenerated. These properties are what make double-spending of bitcoins very difficult. The block chain is the main innovation of Bitcoin.
Honest generators only build onto a block (by referencing it in blocks they create) if it is the latest block in the longest valid chain. "Length" is calculated as total combined difficulty of that chain, not number of blocks, though this distinction is only important in the context of a few potential attacks. A chain is valid if all of the blocks and transactions within it are valid, and only if it starts with the genesis block.
For any block on the chain, there is only one path to the genesis block. Coming from the genesis block, however, there can be forks. One-block forks are created from time to time when two blocks are created just a few seconds apart. When that happens, generating nodes build onto whichever one of the blocks they received first. Whichever block ends up being included in the next block becomes part of the main chain because that chain is longer. More serious forks have occurred after fixing bugs that required backward-incompatible changes.
Blocks in shorter chains (or invalid chains) are not used for anything. When the bitcoin client switches to another, longer chain, all valid transactions of the blocks inside the shorter chain are re-added to the pool of queued transactions and will be included in another block. The reward for the blocks on the shorter chain will not be present in the longest chain, so they will be practically lost, which is why a network-enforced 100-block maturation time for generations exists.
These blocks on the shorter chains are often called "orphan" blocks. This is because the generation transactions do not have a parent block in the longest chain, so these generation transactions show up as orphan in the listtransactions RPC call. Several pools have misinterpreted these messages and started calling their blocks "orphans". In reality, these blocks have a parent block, and might even have children.
Because a block can only reference one previous block, it is impossible for two forked chains to merge.

In this Bitcoin Protocol tutorial video, the Transactions section of the Bitcoin protocol paper is explained. Of course, however, with this proposed solution, we have another issue. We can for sure confirm that a user owns or at least owned a coin, and we can confirm the chain of owners, but we cannot confirm just yet that this coin was not double spent. Have no fear, this is coming!

Bitcoin Protocol Tutorial: Proof of Work

In this Bitcoin protocol tutorial video, the notion of Proof of Work is discussed. The idea of proof of work, normally, is to protect against spam and DoS attacks. With bitcoin, however, it is used to secure the blockchain, requiring that someone must re-do large amounts of computer processing to fake things in the blockchain.
In the next video, you will be shown, via raw code, how Proof of Work actually works. This should help clear any confusion if you are confused at that point.

The network timestamps transactions by including them in blocks that link to form a chain called the block chain. Such blocks cannot be changed without redoing the work that created each block down the chain from the modified block. The chain serves as proof of the sequence of events and that this sequence was verified by a majority of the bitcoin network's computing power. As long as a majority of computing power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to attack the network, they will outpace attackers. This provides a means of providing security not found in other protocols.

In this Bitcoin protocol tutorial video, Proof of Work is shown using actual code. Up to this point, the topic of Proof of Work has been discussed, though may still be a foggy topic that is not fully understood by many. The purposes of this video is to show you a real example of proof of work in action, and why proof of work actually works.

Hacking Bitcoin - Programmer explains

Bitcoin is relying on modern cryptography standards, but what happens when quantum computers get developed enough to be used in order to brute force modern cryptography?
This is a theoretical quantum threat all cryptocurrencies currently face. Let's talk about exactly what part of the Bitcoin protocol can be hacked in this way.

(Audiobook) The Original Bitcoin White Paper by Satoshi Nakamoto

Donations greatly appreciated!

I worked very hard to create this interactive audiobook format and graciously appreciate Bitcoin donations.
After wanting to read the original Bitcoin Whitepaper, I discovered there wasn't a good audiobook version of it with graphs and formulas. So I went ahead and made it, using a slower reading speed so a viewer can try and take it all in.
I have no affiliation with bitcoin.org or Satoshi Nakamoto.
Download the original whitepaper here. http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
From wikipedia....
In November 2008, a paper was posted on the internet under the name Satoshi Nakamoto titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer ElectronicCashSystem. This paper detailed methods of using a peer-to-peer network to generate what was described as "a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust". In January 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence with the release of the first open source Bitcoin client and the issuance of the first bitcoins, with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the first block of bitcoins ever (known as the "genesis block"), which had a reward of 50 bitcoins. The value of the first bitcoin transactions were negotiated by individuals on the bitcointalk forums with one notable transaction involving a 10,000 BTC pizza.
"Satoshi Nakamoto" is a pseudonym for the unknown person or people who designed the original Bitcoin protocol in 2008 and launched the network in 2009. Nakamoto was responsible for creating the majority of the official Bitcoin software and was active in making modifications and posting technical information on the BitcoinTalk Forum.[73]
I apologize in advance for the few wording mistakes. I tried to notate most of them.
